Following the publication of the entries for the Foxhunters’ and Topham, I have updated the Key Trends for both races.

As with previous years, trends for other handicaps (not covered in the CFBG) will be released closer to the start of Aintree.

@AtTheRaces Uh-oh, that’s what Nico said after the International last year

[World of Statistics @stats_feed]

Mastering creativity isn't about chasing 1,000 new ideas—it's about refining just 5-10 core ones through deliberate repetition.

As Dan Koe reveals in "The Art of Repetition": "Creative mastery comes from repeatedly refining 5-10 core ideas rather than chasing constant novelty."

Backed by Anders Ericsson's research: Experts achieve greatness via 10,000 hours of focused practice, not random effort.

What's one idea you're repeating to mastery?

@tony_calvin @AKBets This is the best write up there is. I will have a bet with AK to say thanks

@RadioEmmet @FinalFurlongPod Listened this morning and thoroughly enjoyed

[Sam Russell @Russkit26]

@RoadCheltenham Interesting too as under Hendo it was good ground or bust with her

🐿️ A squirrel can survive a fall from any height. This is due to their terminal velocity being so low. A squirrel would have to fall 5,000 miles for it to die from starvation.

@SkyHelpTeam so much money, and not a single word - my sky went down 5x in 3 hours. No wonder these dodgy boxes are flying at the moment - might have to look into one myself

[Rory McIlroy Tracker @RMTracker]

“How many times have you watched this since last Sunday?”

Me: “Yes.”
